The Deterministic Differential Equation (DDE) Abundance Model
DDE Model The MAPLE code (.mws) The MAPLE code (.pdf)
DDE: Example I N P U T
X1(t ) X2(t ) X3(t ) X4(t ) The Number of Ferrets in Territory i at time t
Limitations of The DDE Model • Ferrets tendnot to beinfinitely divisible – at least not cheerfully. • Models are not(humanely) interpretable for small-populations.
MDE ’s Closed set of MDE’s!
Interpretable Not interpretable small populations MDE’s vs. DDE’s:
